MicroPur MP1 is the only single-tablet chemical treatment that kills all the culprits: bacteria, viruses, and parasites, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium.
Chlorine dioxide also improves taste and odor, destroys sulfides, cyanides, and phenols, controls algae, and neutralizes iron and manganese ions. It is an effective biocide at concentrations as low as 0.1 ppm (parts per million) and over a wide pH range. It is ten times more soluble in water than chlorine, even in cold water. Unlike iodine, chlorine dioxide has no adverse effects on thyroid function. Chlorine dioxide is widely used by municipal water treatment facilities.
The term “chlorine dioxide” is misleading because chlorine is not the active element. Chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing, not a chlorinating agent. ClO2 penetrates the cell wall and reacts with amino acids in the cytoplasm within the cell, killing the microorganism. The by-product of this reaction is chlorite, which is harmless to humans.
MicroPur Tablets are for the emergency disinfection of drinking water. When used as directed, the tablets make contaminated water suitable for drinking. MicroPur Water Purification Tablets are for use by campers, hikers, militaries, emergency organizations, and anyone needing to drink water of questionable microbiological quality.
